Secondary Targets

Secondary education facilities are victim disarmament zones. Most, if not all, education facilities are victim disarmament zones. It has served two families and two victims very poorly this past week. Two moonbat lunatics walked into institutions of secondary learning and killed unarmed and unprotected victims.

The victims had obeyed the law and were not carrying firearms for their personal safety.

The lunatic criminals broke the law (the one about having a firearm on educational institution property) before they broke the other law (the one about committing murder).

North of the border, in "O Canada," an institution of higher learning suffered an armed attack, too. These hallowed halls are also victim disarmament zones, only colder. And "O Canada" has a much more restrictive rules regarding personal ownership of firearms.

No amount of debate will convince the pantie-wetters in education or government that the Second Amendment exists (still) for the personal defense of individuals. They are afraid of guns. They are so afraid of guns that they are willing to sacrifice young people and themselves to avoid the thought of guns.

This is silly. This is stupid. This is illogical. It is naive. It cannot be justified.

Young people, their parents, their guardians, and their teachers need to be armed and trained to defend themselves and those around them for the certain time when the next nutjob enters a school with a gun.

The police cannot be everywhere. (This would be called a police state. Is this what we want?) We cannot track the loonies. We certainly know that the criminals will not obey the law. (It is the definition of a criminal: one who breaks the law.)

The parents of the victim in the Platte Canyon High School hostage standoff, Emily Keyes, should sue the high school for abridging the students' rights to self defense. They should sue the city for abridging the parents and any other adult's right to self-defense and defense of their children. They should sue the state for abridging their right and the right of their child to the Second Amendment's personal right to self defense.

And when it is all over, they should demand that the state, the city, and the school district encourage each student (with parent's permission) and each adult (who desires it) to obtain, train in the use, and carry a defensive firearm in every class.

You never know when your child will need it most.
